Firmware update - Beta, only for the headstrong.

Just a note to say that we have a new firmware version for the Midifighter available. It's a minor update and without more testing and a detailed set of instructions on how to do the update we're not making a big Song & Dance yet.

If you know how to install and use "Atmel Flip" on Windows, or use the command line tool "dfu-programmer" on Mac/Linux, you can find a new HEX file on our Sourceforge site:

It would be great if the "Factory preset bootup" key combination could be explained here from the ground up. I would need to re-set my unit to default as it has stopped sending midi on Traktor and I presume the midi basenote has changed and I don't quite have a grasp at how to roll it back the way it should be.

The factory reset is built into the 2010-01-18 firmware. To activate it, hold down the four diagonal keys from bottom left to top right while plugging in the USB cable:

. . . *
. . * .
. * . .
* . . .

This will reset the base note, channel, velocity to their default values and turn off all inputs from the expansion port.

HOWEVER, this feature is only in the new firmware so you'll have to do the complicated firmware update process to get the simple-and-easy reset feature. Yes, I get the irony. We probably need to do a video tutorial and get all MF owners to upgrade, and we should do this when the next batch of fixes are tested.
